Voting at the majority of polling places was unusually light during the morning, there being several precincts in which the total vote up to noon was fewer than 20. Even the precincts in which heavy votes were expected ran light between the opening of the polls at S A. M. and noon. Reports of the small vote were re ceived from more than 100 of the pre cincts by Deputy City Auditor Wie gand. who had charge of the query de partment maintained at the City Hall during the day. After noon there was a noticeable increase in the number of votes cast. The heaviest vote of the day in the majority of precincts was between 4:80 and 7 PM. This was particularly no ticeable ' in the districts of the East Side, where working people reside. In most of the other precincts the vote was light in the morning anrgenerally Heavy qui nig ure in, u Some inconvenience was experienced in some of the precincts when the men selected as election judges and clerks failed to renort for work. In some pre cincts the polls could not be opened until after 9 o clock owing to tne ina bility of the City Auditor to secure per sons to act as clerks or judges In the Dlaces of those who rawed to report At 9:30 o'clock the vacancies had all been filled and the election was run ning smoothly. There were no other slips in the ar rangements during the day excepting in a few of the districts where there became a shortage of sample ballots or other supplies. An automooue was kept at the City Hall all day and as quickly as supplies were asked for they were sent out. In a number of the precincts van dais were busy during Friday night and early Saturday and in consequence a number of oil stoves were stolen, in polling places where the stoves were reported missing other stoves were sent out as early as oossible. The information bureau at the City Hall was kept busy from 7 o'clock in the morning until after the polls closed. Hundreds of telephone calls were answered by telephone operators, while rlenutv Auditors were busy an swering questions of persons who called in person. The telephones were aept busv bv nersons wanting to know where to vote. Mans had been pre oared by CMty Auditor Barbur and the operators were able to tell at a glance in what .precinct a given aaaress was situated.' Particularly noticeable in the information department were the number ft residents of precincts out side the city who wanted to know if thev were entitled to vote. An excellent campaign was that put ut bv members of the police depart ment urging electors to vote against the initiative measure to take tne po lice department out of the jurisdiction of the Civil Service Commission. Card tackers were furnished. Friday night with a list of the polling places and they lost no time in nailing up signs along the streets leading to the polling places. The cards urging against the proposed measure were placed on trees, telephone poles, sides of buildings and la windows as thickly as possible in the close vicinity of the polling places.

McNamara, a brother of the secretary of the Iron workers' JJnion, blew up the Los An geles Times building, were read by the Government at. the dynamite conspir acy trial today. One abstract was a copy of a reso lution adopted by the International Association of Bridge and Structural Iron Workers In September, 1007. Los Angeles Called Breeding Place. It asserted that Los Angeles was a "breeding place for strikebreakers of all crafts and trades" and added: "If unionism is crushed In Los Angeles It will be but a short time before the same methods are applied in other cities. The struggle is national in scope and should be financed by the American Federation of Labor." Many letters which the Government charged implicate the 45 men novo on trial were read by District Attorney Miller. A letter from Michael J. Han non, former business agent of the Ironworkers at Seranton. Pa., to J. J. McNamara as read by Mr. Miller said: "If Local 2J had a million I would not do a thing for them, as they don't Snow how to keep their mouths shut and I do not feel prepared to serve time. I am prepared to do anything, but you know how careful a man must be in an affair of this kind." "One Killed, One Injured.' A letter from William Bernhart, of Cincinnati, was quoted by Mr. Miller as follows: "I wish to say that traveler, turned over on the Granger job. One killed and one injured. They accuse the oridgemen of putting acid on the cables. Some of our men have been arrested. I have fooled some of the bulls personally. Now if some stranger could come around and ditch the bal ance I am pretty sure the killing is up. I have got all of our men off, but the Judge said 'For God's sake don't let this bunch come around here again or I'll have to do something."
